Officers working for Gov. Greg Abbott’s border security initiative have been ordered to push small children and nursing babies back into the Rio Grande, and have been told not to give water to asylum seekers even in extreme heat, according to an email from a Department of Public Safety trooper who described the actions as “inhumane.”
Somehow I feel like “I was just following orders” is going to be a sufficient defense in this case.
So many heinous atrocities have been committed by people who were “just following orders”
It’s really disconcerting.
